P-51 Mustang Quicksilver @ Tico Warbird Airshow 2009

P-51D Quicksilver, N51HY, serial #54-11439, is one special plane. Bill Yoak, of Aerospace Specialties, Inc. in Lewisburg, West Virginia, made the birth of this aircraft a 16-year project that came together in 18,000 pieces and 60,000 parts. Yoak said, It is truly a creation of more than 200-300 pieces of aircraft from all over the world. We completely re-skinned the plane, a resurrection. This one never went to war, but the Rolls Royce 1800 hp Merlin-powered P-51D commemorates those that did and those who flew the fighters, some 15,486 of which were manufactured from 1941-45 by North American Aviation. Fewer than 300 have survived.
